Having problems with your Kodak ZD710 Digital Camera ?

Fresh, fully charged batteries last about 15 seconds in the camera, with the orange "low battery warning" flashing, then it shuts down and dies! The batteries still read 1.343 Volts. This camera had its power management circuit board replaced under warranty when it was 2 months old, and even so battery life has been dropping off, despite a whole range of new batteries being used.

No Power on camera. Battery will not charge. Charger led flashes when tying to charge. Have another (older 2007) exact model camera and battery from this camera works fine within this camera. This suggests a faulty battery pack. Camera is just over 3 months old having no more than four charges. I would expect a replacement under warranty. Please contact me ASAP.

My kodak 763 quit working and I thought it was the battery, even though the camera was only 6 months old. I replaced and recharged the battery but the camera still does not work. I comes on for less than a second and then shuts down completely.

I think ur in a warranty period ,directly service it with service center,else the best way is to take it to authorized service station to troubleshooting and estimate the cost and parts need to repair.to troubleshoot yourself and replace components i ...

Fairly brand new (less than 6 months old) Canon rebel xti - shooting in manual mode, then it gives a low battery message. I switch the battery and nothing. I recharge the first battery and install it, again - nothing. I removed the internal battery and left both batteries out for 30 minutes. Nada. I have barely even used this camera and I am furious. Is there anyone who knows what the problem is? If I seriously have to send it back under warranty already after shooting less than 1000 photos, I a

Battery Problem My 18-month-old Canon A70 is giving "change the battery pack" message and turning off constantly, even though I have fully charged three different sets of new rechargeable batteries and rotate them as soon as the message comes on. Sometimes with this message I pull out one charged set and put the same back in, and it works fine for quite awhile, then repeats later. I imagine this is a problem in the camera battery power circuit or something. Never happens when plugged into the co

I figured out the problem. My AA battery recharger was not making good contact, so although it said the batteries were recharged, this was not the case. After fixing this and getting full recharges, the problem went away. ...

Two things....my approx.18 month old battery died and i bought a replacement yesterday. is this the normal life expectancy?
2nd. Today, with a totally charged battery, I took eight pictures. Later I wanted to review the pics and when I pushed the on/off button, the lens came out but no image appeared. I could not shut off the camera, so had to pop the battery out. I am not sure now if the lens went back in. I pushed the on button again and the lens moved out; the display lit up with the message

To answer your questions, depending on how much use, (meaning how many snap shoots) will dictate whether your camera has reached its life expectancy. The proper procedure for long life with the battery is to have it totally drain out be ...

I have a cannon power shot A580, about one month old and it keeps asking for the date and time everytime i switch it on, even though i have replaced the date battery and the camera batteries, and set the date and time in the menu time and time again!!! HELP

If you've replaced the date battery, then the camera is defective. Being only a month old, first recommend seeing if your retailer will exchange it. If not, Canon will fix for free under warranty. Call 1-800-OK-CANON. ...

My small handheld video camera "Aiptek ISDV2.4" has a battery life of literally 1 minute. Even when I replace the batteries, they still only last for 1 minute. I have tried rechargeable batteries, but those don't seem to help at all. I really want normal battery life for my video camera..

Try a reset. Turn on the camera and press and hold the power button for 10 seconds. This will reset the camera(you will lose all your settings and stuff) and hopefully, it will resolve the issue. If it doesn't I would strongly suspect that this is a ...

In May we purchased a Canon Power Shot 590IS. We love the camera, however, battery life with camera is poor at best. With new high energy digital batteries we get approxiamtely 40 - 45 pictures, with 4 differnt manufactures rechargable batteries, we get 12 - 15 pictures, before the batteries require replacement. The camera was retruned to Best Buys where we purchased it aong with an extended warranty. They keep the camera for 10 days, retruned it saying nothing was wrong. Any suggestions?

We are having great success selling our customers the Energizer Lithium AA batteries. They are a little more expensive initially, but the end cost is much lower than alkaline cells. They usually give about 7 times more shots than alkalines. There's a ...

I just replaced the batteries in my L110 and when I click to take a picture the camera shuts down. I replaced the batteries again and the same thing happens. Camera is about 6 months old.

I've found that the type of battery makes a difference. I always use the lithium energizer, they have alot of life to them, last longer and allow you to take many photos. You can also get rechargeable to save money in the long run. Just make sure the ...

Actually this is the 2nd one I have bought, both with the same problem. the battery died on both but the 1st camera I inter changed with 2 other cameras that are the same. the 1st camera is 1 1/2 yrs old, ijust replaced the camera because the 1st one would not charge, now the new one does not charge

Z612 will not format an SD card... 1GB??? Also battery life is very short... have used Kodak battery and a LENMAR DLK8000. And more... lens does not extend when camera turned on! Best Buy has had the camera twice in the past 2 months to try and fix... They have done nothing other than suggest I use Kodak batteries... I used a NEW Kodak and a LENMAR and have been for 2 years... why issues now at the end of my extended warranty with Best Buy????

Your camera has been designed to work with SD cards up to 1GB but in my experience there are often compatibility issues with different brands of SD cards especially when they're right on the limit of what the camera can handle.You've said ...

Polaroid i733 7.0 digital camera won't work. I usually use digital rechargeable batteries, but have also tried duracell ultra and energizer lithium batteries. The camera will sometimes turn on and the lens will come out, but that's it. Nothing will display on the screen, it just stays black. I can't even get the lens to go back in. The camera is only about 3 months old. Help! Sharon

Camera Failure I was taking pictures of my daughter on the beach last week and my camera just quit. The lens is still out. This has happened before when the battery died, but I charged the battery and it still won't work. I am pretty positive that I have an extended warranty on the camera (though it is only a few months old) but I can't find my paper work. What do I need to do? Do you think you know what is wrong with it? Amy

My Finepix S1500 digital camera won't turn on. I have replaced the batteries with new lithium batteries, cleaned the terminals with a cleaning cloth and it still won't turn on. The camera is only seven months old. Is there anything else I can try?

Why does my DSC-W150 digit camera say"For use with Compatible battery only" when I replaced it after charging the original sony battery. The camera is only 10 months old

Battery life is so short i cant take anymore than a couple of photos before camera loses power. I've tried several different types of rechargeable batteries and even regular AA batteries. It seems to last a little longer on regular batteries, however, I would go broke buying replacement batteries.

My lens on my new (4 months old) Polaroid camera digital won't fully retract. The camera then won't shut down and it's burning out the batteries. Polaroid !1236 I assume it's still under warranty. Where can I take it to get it fixed? THanks
I bought it at Big Lots and they won't take it back becuase it's been 30 days. I bought the camera in December 2010. Jused it once in Janaury for a two week vacation. It worked fine then. Just discovered this new problem.

Power issue we bought my sony mvc-cd400 in 2002, so i understand that it is old and out of date. But up until a month ago it has been a great camera. I had the camera on the charger and noticed that when i unplugged it that it did not hold the charge, i returned it to the charger over night and it still had no charge. we replaced the battery the same issue, as long as the camera is plugged in to the charger i can use it. is this a fixable issue?

The battery door on my Kodak C913 has broken on the latch. I can upclip the door, all I need is a direct replacement rather than send the camera away. Camera is just over 12 months old.

No refund I called casio about my battery NP20 for a new one.,but they said it,s more than a year old. I already replaced this battery about 6 months ago, but they go by the age of the camera. Not fair.

These things happen. Unfortunately just the cost of modern technology. That is why battery business is increasing every day. More batteries being used and used up. You can purchase a replacement on buy.com with free shipping for about 23$. Just follo ...

My camera seems to be drawing energy from the batteries even when it is off because when I put brand new betteries in, within 72 hours they appear dead. I have the Canon SX10 IS. The camera is 10 months old.
